These three easy salad dressings are super-simple to make from storecupboard ingredients. Take your pick from French, honey and mustard, or marie-rose.
French dressing (aka vinaigrette) will transform anything from mixed salad leaves to tomatoes, avocado or tinned beans into a tasty side dish or simple starter. Try honey and mustard dressing with warm cooked new potatoes as a delicious accompaniment to sausages, pork chops or grilled chicken. Mix marie-rose dressing (aka seafood cocktail sauce) with cooked prawns and serve with Little Gem lettuce leaves or shredded iceberg lettuce for a classic prawn cocktail starter, or a sandwich filling.
